President Roosevelt tells Leonard Wood that he is glad the German invitation turned out all right. Roosevelt told Hermann Speck von Sternburg about the situation, and said that while he hoped that Wood could be present, he understood if it was not possible. Roosevelt is pleased that German Emperor William II remembered Wood, and was able to do as Wood hoped. The Republican National Convention went well, and Roosevelt believes that they will be able to elect William H. Taft as president.
